Part 9/12:
The supposed 1,500 reviews—each of which is a perfect five-star rating—raises questions about how this level of engagement could have been achieved organically. Review copies are not widespread, and physical copies appearing in stores days before launch are highly unlikely during the ongoing global crisis that has disrupted supply chains. The idea that over a thousand individuals managed to review the game simultaneously is implausible.
Some speculate that these reviews may be faked, possibly orchestrated by bots or a small group of people with access to review copies or the ability to post multiple ratings. Others suspect that company employees or affiliates might have posted glowing reviews to artificially inflate the game's ratings online.
